Kittychan: Konnichiwa minna! A little warning just ahead of time, I might
not even finish this story so try not to get too attached okay? I'll try my
best not to leave any cliff hangers so you guys won't flame me. Like my
friend Bunny/Lizziechan says: Flames are for marshmallows. And I would
reply: And Kero and Suppi ate all of ours. And I'm not nonflammable k?
Chapter 2
"So what have you got for me today Kinonomoto?" Dr. Toru Sekiya asked as he held out a hand.
"Well, we're having trouble clearing the dirt and grime in the middle of the portrait but you can now make out the figure of the painting," Fujitaka replied as he accepted the handshake.
"Better something than nothing, besides I know you won't disappoint me," Dr. Sekiya answered.
"Well it turns out that my prediction was correct. This painting was created by our art genius. Yoshiaki, artist by age 11 and died at age 20. This portrait was created about a year before he died." Fujitaka led Dr. Sekiya to the lab where the painting was being cleaned. Since the portrait was so big, there were a group of archeologist working on it at one time.
"How did you know that the painting was an original Yoshiaki?" Dr. Sekiya asked as he pushed up the glasses that were sliding down on his nose.
The two walked in front of it to seem the edges cleaned and able to reveal a tree up on top and the blue sky. But the figure in the middle was still incrusted of dirt after all those years underwater. Except for one part.
"That is how we know," Fujitaka said pointing to the painting. He was pointing to the one part of the figure in the painting where there wasn't dirt. It was a picture of a hand and on one slender finger, was a crystal ring. The sunlight was caught in it giving off a bright color.
"This picture was found right outside Tomoeda, as we all know, was Yoshiaki's home town. He was well known for a beautiful crystal ring that he made himself. That ring is worth millions since the crystal he used is one of the rarest. So rare that they call it Angel Eyes. The ore itself takes thousands of centuries just to form. My guess would be that crystal he owns might have been around when the Dinosaurs still roamed." Fujitaka explained as he held up pictures of the original crystal.
"Fascinating. Once again Kinomoto, you cease to amaze me," Dr. Sekiya responded.
"Dr. Kinomoto! Quick, I think we have something here!" One of the scientist exclaimed. Fujitaka and Dr. Sekiya quickly rushed over to see what was the commotion.
Another piece of the figure was now revealed. Fujitaka took off his glasses to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Sure enough, there were a pair of shimmering eyes staring back at them. Since they were tilted suggesting that the head was tilted also and it must have been a young girl. Fujitaka swore that they looked just like Nadeshiko's eyes except, they weren't her warm, deep green, but a shining silver color instead. Still something about the color seem strange.
Suddenly Fujitaka ran from the table and up the stairs.
"Doctor where are you going?"
Fujitaka ran up to the second floor of the room where he looked back down on the painting to see what he was looking for. Her eyes and the crystal ring were exactly the same color silver. Both shining the ray of the sun and glistened.
"What do you see Dr.?" one of the scientist shouted out as Dr. Sekiya followed Fujitaka upstairs and looked down at the painting.
"I think we found our angel eyes…" was all Fujitaka could say.

"See you later, don't celebrate too much during lunch!" Bill called out.
"Don't worry, I'll save the champagne for when we actually find out who it is," Fujitaka joked back as he walked out. He had his jacket in one arm and started to hum a song.
1 Was it just a lucky day
2 That he turned and looked my way
3
4 "Huh?" Fujitaka thought as he heard that voice again while he stood underneath a tree in the parking lot. The voice seemed to be surrounded all around him.
5
6 "Who's there?" Fujitaka demanded as he looked all around him to try and find the voice.
7
8 "Whoa! Whoa, ahhhh!" a voice from above Fujiaka yelled. He looked up to see someone falling down on him.
9
10 "I gotcha." Fujitaka yelled as he leaned forward with out stretched arms. He felt the weight of the person in his arms.
"Ohh….my head,"
"Are you okay?" Fujitaka asked.
"I think so," the girl replied. Her eyes were still closed but her voice sounded familiar and her hair was long and violet.
"Nadeshiko?" Fujitaka asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Huh?" the girl thought out loud as she opened her eyes in curiosity. But instead of the deep pools of emerald that Nadeshiko had, her eyes were a dazzling silver-ish color. (she's not really a girl since she is about Fujitaka's age, about 4 years off)
"I'm sorry I thought you were someone else," Fujitaka responded quickly. Baka. Her hair isn't even curly. It's true, her hair was straight until like Nadeshiko's wavy hair.
"That's okay I'm sorry I dropped down on you like that. I was trying to take a nap," the young lady replied.
"Haven't you ever heard of something called a bed?" Fujitaka teased.
The young lady giggled. "Yes but I prefer trees. The good thing about sleeping in trees, is that you get better view of some of the world's beauties. You should try it sometime. The bad thing is, you fall on people walking by a lot. Which umm, by the way, I can still stand and walk."
"What? Oh!" Fujitaka quickly set the young lady down back on the ground after he realized he was standing there with her still in his arms. When she stood back up, he noticed she was rather tall, about shoulder length to his height.
"It's okay. My name's Kahimi Noda. Thank you for catching me," Kahimi replied as she held out her hand.
"Your very welcome Ms Noda. I am in Fujitaka Kinomoto. I work at this museum." Fujitaka responded shaking her hand.
"Oh you can call Kahimi, I don't mind."
"Well then I hope you don't mind if I ask what you do with your time besides sleep in tree Kahimi."
"Oh. I'm a kindergarten teacher and an assistant teacher at Tomoeda Private school."
"Really, my daughter and son go to that school."
"That's wonderful, I hope I get to meet them. Oh, you must excuse, my next class is about to start but thank you again Fujitaka Kinomoto. Perhaps I will see you around," Kahimi replied as she ran and waved back to Fujitaka.
He just simply waved back and smiled back.
~*~*
Later that night, Fujitaka sat outside on his pouch with a picture of Nadeshiko by his side and a cup of cider. There the moon shone brightly above him and the stars danced around in the night, lighting up even the darkest parts of the night. The scenery was almost as beautiful as the scene in the garden of the Misuki Shrine.
11 He showed me all new things
12 The shimmer of moonbeams
13
14 There's that voice again. Who is it?…
15 Kittychan: Who is the mysterious girl in the painting? Who is Kahimi and what kind of weird person sleeps in trees instead of beds? Who is singing that freakin' song? (Actually I really like that song) Will Fujitaka find someone special for Valentine's Day? Is Nadeshiko really dead? And will Kero be placed in this fanfic or not? To find out, stay tune for the next chapter.
